When you are already a wife and a mother, it is essential that you learn how to cook. You can prepare and cook meals for the family each day to ensure that everyone eats healthy food. Not only you can guarantee that what you eat is always clean and nutritious instead you can spare some cash by cooking food. In fact, dining at restaurants is more costly than cooking your own meals. Additionally, cooking can help relieve your stress. This can also be a bonding time with your kids or the entire family. You can make delicious Nespresso coffee capsules or prepare tasty snacks for everyone to enjoy each time.

Thankful Thursday: Productivity + Yoga

mum's thoughts, Thankful Thursday, mum inspires, yoga, gratitude, blogging, stay-at-home mom

It is time again for another #ThankfulThurday post and today I am thankful for being productive, and yes, for yoga. More about the yoga part later on in the post and let me talk about the productivity bit. I guess you cannot help but feel very productive if you have accomplished a number of tasks and chores you have set out for you in the week, and that is exactly how I am feeling of late. So I am done with a part of my laundry and cleaning the rooms, a few more spins in the washer and a couple of cleaning here and there and I am all done with this week’s laundry and chores. Which is just about fine by me as I will be left with ample time over the weekend to make reviewers for the little school boy for his incoming 2nd quarter examinations. I have also found the perfect Halloween costume for the little man in time for his Halloween Party!

Blogging is also thriving this week as I have numerous projects currently on the brew. Posts about Unilab, PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya, Proactiv, and the exciting new Robinsons Malls App are also slated to be published within a week or two. I have also been to Blogapalooza over the weekend and will tell you all about the numerous things I’ve seen there in a separate blogpost. Not to mention there are also a couple of book and product reviews coming up and I do hope you watch out for them.

I am also preoccupied with some work-at-home tasks in between, and yesterday, just right before I prepared for another blogging event, I finished a 900-or-so-word article, allowing me to tick off another item on my to-do list. Nothing gives me more joy than to be around my little man 24/7 while he is young, and the opportunity to earn a living while being a full-time stay-at-home mum is really a blessing. My son will be little for only a short time and the chance to look after him myself and being given the chance to augment the family income while doing so is more than enough reason to feel blessed.

And, yes, sorry it took a while but here I go with the yoga bit. I was supposed to visit my local yoga center for a class last week but something came up so I had it re-scheduled for this week. It has been a very long, looong while since I was there last and I am only delighted to be back and to hit my mat again. Yoga is my bliss and my sanctuary, it is also my instant pick-me-upper and visiting one of my favorite places, working on my asanas is a very welcome change in my everyday mundanity. Yes, I was sore and aching here and there after my session, but I was also most relaxed and very peaceful. I agreed to be back next week and I am just glad to be back on my mat again and continue on with my practice.

Now it is your turn to share your Thankful Thursday list, I would love to read all about it! 🙂

Je Suis Reconnaissant!

“What are you grateful for recently?”

I am grateful for the clothes on my back, and the flipflops on my feet, i am grateful for the air that i breathe + for my heart that still has beats, but most recently, I am grateful for having to spend some quality bonding time with my son. We were able to go to Tagaytay this weekend + my son totally enjoyed it that it makes the long journey well worth it!

I have been quite preoccupied lately, doing stuff online that I must admit, gets a big chunk off of the time I should be spending with my son, instead.  You’d think being a stay-at-home-mum will give you all the time in the world to do whatever you want to, but in truth, 24 hours a day is hardly ever enough for all the things that I must do + I struggle to keep a healthy balance. But, of course, earning online or not, my son will always be a priority! So whether I am busy writing about Cheap medical scrubs, or tinkering something on this blog to improve it, or busy searching for a suitable theme for Jared’s blog that I am migrating to WordPress as of this writing, I make sure I take care of my son’s needs + wants first, before anything  else.
